According to the manuals, for Direct ISO on a Linux Host installation, the "vlinstall-iso [available from] “install/vinstall/vinstall-iso” whithin the FTP site" is needed. But I just can't find an "install" directory at all in the ftp site (or any mirror). Am I missing something?

The procedure for Direct ISO installation is supposed to bypass the need to burn on a CD (as far as I understood at least). Doesn't it nullify that purpose if one has to burn the ISO on a CD in order to access the vlinstall?

EDIT: Or was it so that only Direct ISO on a windows host saves you the CD burning?
